Hrm.  Yes, that is what I got from it.  But in my case the hardware is
an internal, PCI (Zap) Wildcard.  I am pressuming that since I can use
functions like "Wait()", then "Answer()" in dialplan to actually delay
answering (for the Wait() time) that Asterisk actually "acknowledges"
the call.

Hrm.  Yeah.  Perhaps.  I guess perhaps Asterisk isn't currently able to
handle deciding if the call has been hung up before it even picks it up
(i.e. no more rings).  Maybe a peek at the source to Asterisk and the
zaptel drivers might tell me more.

I just find it strange that I am the first person to want this feature.
Indeed tomshardware.com has an article describing how to make an
answering machine out of Asterisk by doing exactly what I tried.  In my
experiments though, it just don't work the way they describe it.

Thanx,
